The Majestic Hosts Staunch Political Critic Bill Maher on Saturday

A staunch supporter of gay marriage, animal rights and atheism, talk-show host, comic and political commentator Bill Maher has made his career calling out bigots and hypocrites. His public feuds with so-called conservatives have pushed the boundaries of public decency, and he is unapologetic about his scathing critiques of the world’s religions, which he believes are responsible for the country’s anti-gay sentiment. After the cancellation of his long-running late night talk show Politically Incorrect in 2002, Maher returned with a vengeance the following year as host and producer of the HBO series Real Time with Bill Maher. With 14 seasons under his belt, Maher brings his comedic stylings and political commentary to the Majestic. $35-$96, 8pm Sat, The Majestic Theatre, 224 E. Houston St., (210) 226-3333, majesticempire.com.
